Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and remove any existing engine mounts or brackets that may interfere with installation.
2. Positioning: Align the mounting plate with the factory bolt holes on the vehicle’s chassis. Ensure the rubber pads face outward to maximize vibration absorption.
3. Bolt Securement: Tighten all bolts in a cross‑pattern sequence to evenly distribute load, using a torque wrench set to 120 Nm (adjust if specified by manufacturer).
4. Check Alignment: Verify that the engine sits level and that there is no undue stress on surrounding components.
5. Final Inspection: Inspect all fasteners for tightness, confirm rubber pads are intact, and test drive at low speed to ensure smooth operation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the rubber damping pads annually; replace if they show signs of cracking or wear.
• Check bolt torque every 10,000 km or after any major vibration event (e.g., collision).
• Avoid over‑tightening bolts to prevent material fatigue.
• Keep the mounting area clean from oil and debris to maintain proper seal integrity.
